Hello, Coach!
You should get a traditional book deal.
Let me show you how.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Anna Fox!
My area of expertise is helping Coaches to prepare and strategise their approach to the market using Author Accelerator's proprietary training method so they can get a traditional book deal.
My goal is to help you write a great book that agents can't ignore and readers can't put down as well as helping you reach your vision for your business - and your life.
Introducing Confidence & Craft
The 4-part framework designed
to take you all the way to an agent or publisher's doorstep
AND support your business and lifestyle.
So you don't just write a great book: you reach your business and life goals, too.
Part 1: Think
You wouldn't build a house without laying a foundation first, and you wouldn't drive somewhere without knowing where you were going. It's exactly the same when it comes to writing a book. You don't start without thinking through the right questions first, so you can create the complete roadmap and structure of your book all the way from start to finish.
Part 2: Craft
When you're preparing to get a nonfiction book deal, you don't need to write the book first. But you do need to demonstrate you can write it. In Craft, you take the material you've developed in part 1 and turn it to face the market. You're enjoying a sense of flow now because you're no longer second-guessing: everything fits because you've done the right thinking.
Part 3: Position
Next we use a predictable way of finding all the agents who are actively interested in your book and give them what they want to get you in the door. Now you're feeling so excited you can't wait to get out there and pitch!
Part 4: Draft
While you're waiting to hear back from agents and publishers, you continue drafting and revising your book. And as you go through the pitching process you get the support and accountability you need so you feel continually inspired and motivated to keep going and finish.
TESTIMONALS
Justine McGrath
Executive Coach
"When I took Anna's programme it provided the clarity I had been seeking for so long. Having a clear plan and structure for writing a non-fiction book is essential, but knowing that and knowing how to do it are two very different things.
Anna is an expert and takes you through the steps in a way that is so clear and easy to follow that it gives you renewed passion and confidence in having the ability to complete your book
If you are confused or stuck with how to get going, working with Anna is for you. I recommend her highly."
Kevin Nolan,
Retired CEO
"One of the challenges I faced was building up the confidence to embark on writing a book. I worried that what I had to say might not be of interest to people or that I would not be capable of delivering it in a format that would engage the reader.
One of the biggest outcomes from my work with Anna was the degree that my confidence in my writing has developed. Anna has so much knowledge and experience in helping new authors and her patience and support has been invaluable.
For anyone embarking on writing their first book I could not recommend Anna highly enough."
Samantha Frearson-Tubito, Co-Founder
"Working with Anna has been a game-changer for my writing journey. I had a rough manuscript but was struggling with the structure and outline. Anna provided invaluable guidance and support. She helped me create an in-depth outline and with clarifying my vision. We developed a clear road map for my book, ensuring a narrative flow that moved forward.
Overall, Anna is an incredibly knowledgeable and supportive coach who truly cares about her clients’ success. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone who is serious about writing and publishing their work."
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what I need to do next?
This depends on where you are in the process. Book a free 1hr Strategy Call with Anna where she uses a proven process to establish exactly what you need to do next, so you can reach all your publishing goals.
Can you guarantee I'll get a book deal?
No. Nobody can do that in traditional publishing. To guarantee you'll be published you have to self publish or go to a hybrid publisher (where you pay them).
How long does it take?
It depends on where you are in the process. Each step is designed to move you through to the finish as efficiently and thoroughly as possible. Visit the Services page for approximate timelines.
Is my writing is good enough?
In nonfiction, you don't need a finished book when you submit to an agent: you only need two sample chapters. Of course, these need to be awesome! And that's the work we do together in Step 3 of the programme.
Which publishing option should I choose?
That depends on what your vision is for your book in the world. Whether you choose traditional publishing (where you get an agent and publisher who produces the book for you and pays you) self-publishing (you do all of it) or hybrid publishing (you pay a publisher to produce your book) depends on the outcome you desire. To dive into this, book a free Strategy Call so you can decide what to do next.
How do I know how much of my story to include?
The Blueprint will show you exactly how much and which parts to tell. Check out Step 1: The Blueprint if you're wondering about this or about any other structural aspect of your book.
